First look at Ruby Rose as Batwoman from The CW’s crossover event

Ruby Rose has been cast as Batwoman to appear in The CW’s DC Crossover Event in December. As previously announced, a Batwoman series is in development for the 2019-20 season.

Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a saviour, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope. Based on the characters from DC.

The costume was designed by Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Tomb Raider, Arrow, The Flash).

It’s pretty faithful to the comic book version and hopefully there should be some footage of her in action released soon.

Batwoman will be introduced in The CW’s Arrowverse crossover between The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl. It begins with a special episode of The Flash on December 9, 8:00 pm ET.

The CW has also announced that Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) will appear in all three episodes, alongside Lois Lane who will be played by Grimm’s Elizabeth Tulloch.
